Number Of Ingredients 19

2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup cocoa
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 cup butter
2 cups sugar
3 eggs, lightly beaten
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 cup milk
3 cups grated zucchini
1 tablespoon grated orange zest
1 cup chopped nuts
calendula blossoms and petals, tuberous begonia blossoms, or orange mint sprigs, for garnish
Orange Glaze
1 1/4 cups sifted confectioner' sugar
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Sift the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon together and set aside. In a bowl, cream the butter and sugar until fluffy. Add the eggs, vanilla and milk to the butter mixture. Stir in the dry ingredients and mix until well blended. Fold in the zucchini, orange zest and nuts. Pour into a greased and floured bundt cake pan.Bake 50 to 60 minutes. Allow the cake to cool for 15 minutes before turning out onto a rack.
  • To make the glaze, in a bowl mix together the sugar, orange juice and vanilla. While the cake is still warm, drizzle with the glaze. Garnish with flowers or mint sprigs.

Tips:

  • For a moist and flavorful cake, use fresh zucchini. Grating the zucchini finely helps it blend seamlessly into the batter. If you don't have fresh zucchini, you can substitute it with 1 cup of packed, shredded zucchini.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • To ensure even cooking, make sure your oven is preheated to the correct temperature before baking the cake. A properly preheated oven will help the cake rise evenly and prevent it from sinking in the middle.
  • Don't open the oven door during baking. Opening the oven door can cause the cake to fall, resulting in a dense, unevenly cooked cake.
  • To make the orange glaze, use freshly squeezed orange juice. Fresh orange juice provides the best flavor and aroma to the glaze. You can also add a teaspoon of orange zest to enhance the orange flavor.
  • For a glossy glaze, brush the cake with the glaze while it is still warm. This will help the glaze set and give the cake a beautiful sheen.
